On one hand, SKN Patriots have already played four games and this would be the fifth fixture for them and on the other hand we have Barbados Royals who have played two games thus far. One thing that is common between these two teams is the fact both teams have struggled in the early part of the campaign.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals Betting Odds

Barbados Royals to score more sixes than St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

On the other hand SKN Patriots scored the least amount of sixes with 50 sixes in nine games averaging 5.55 sixes a game which is much lower than Barbados Royals who managed to wow the fans with their aggressive style of play.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals Top Team Batters

Andre Fletcher to be St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’s top batter

We are going to stick to our guns and go with Andre Fletcher regardless he failed to perform against Guyana Amazon Warriors. There was a reason why he ended up being top scorer for his side last year even though he faltered in certain games which is probably why we are going to stick with him for the upcoming game.

Kyle Mayers to be Barbados Royals’s top batter

EThe West Indies allrounder had a brilliant season last year as he ended up with 366 runs in 12 matches and was the leading run scorer for his side. Even though Barbados Royal was comprehensively beaten in the season opener, we believe Mmayers will come good once again this season and is our top pick for the game.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals Top Team Bowlers

Oshane Thomas to be St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’s top bowler

Oshane Thomas has started off the campaign in style unlike his team SKN Patriots who have struggled in this tournament thus far. In the two games thus far, Thomas has ended up with 1/25 and 3/38 which once again makes him our top pick for the game.

Jason Holder to be Barbados Royals’s top bowler

Jason Holder had a brilliant start against Saint Lucia Kings in the season opener as he ended up with 4/38, Barbados Royals lost the game by 54 runs. We believe Holder is a great weapon to have in your armoury and he would come good this year which makes him our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots needed a strong start to the season to put the miseries from last season behind but have failed to do so. SKN Patriots have failed to win each of the first four games in this campaign. Ater first two games were called off, SKN Patriots were comprehensively beaten by the defending champions. In the last game, SKN Patriots conceded 197 runs against Guyana Amazon Warriors and got bowled out for 132 and eventually lost the game by 65 runs.

Barbados Royals dominated the whole of group stage from start to finish last year. With eight wins in ten games they managed to top the group. This year, Barbados Royals faltered at the start of the season against Saint Lucia Kings as they conceded a mammoth 201 runs and failed to chase down the total as they were bowled out for 147 and eventually lost the game by 54 runs. The second game against Jamaica Tallawahs was suspended due to rain.

Even though Barbados Royals went 2-0 in this fixture against SKN Patriots, the bookmakers have sided with the SKN Patriots but only just. It almost seems to be an even odds and it looks like Bookies are sitting on the edge on this one. We believe SKN Patriots struggles would continue in the upcoming game and Barbados Royals would take home maximum points in the upcoming game.

• St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win @ 1.86 (PariMatch)
• Barbados Royals to win @ 1.94 (PariMatch)
